Anthony Joshua Eyes Third Heavyweight Title as Usyk Vacates IBF Belt

Published

on


British-Nigerian boxer Anthony Joshua is poised to become a three-time heavyweight champion after Ukraine’s Oleksandr Usyk vacated his IBF heavyweight title.

Usyk, who recently defeated Tyson Fury to become the undisputed champion, confirmed he will not be defending the IBF belt in his rematch with Fury scheduled for December 21.

Usyk took to social media to announce his decision, stating, “Anthony and Daniel, listen, I know the IBF title is important to you. It’s my present to you on September 21.”

This move paves the way for Joshua to fight fellow Brit Daniel Dubois for the vacant title at Wembley Stadium on September 21.

Joshua, who first won a world title in 2016, held the championship for three years before a shocking defeat by Andy Ruiz Jr.

He reclaimed his titles six months later but was then bested by Usyk in 2021 and lost the rematch the following year. Now, with the IBF title up for grabs, Joshua has a prime opportunity to add another chapter to his storied career.

Manchester United has unveiled ambitious plans for a new £2 billion stadium, aiming to set a new benchmark in football infrastructure. The proposed 100,000-seat venue is designed by renowned architect Lord Norman Foster, known for iconic projects like London’s Wembley Stadium.

The stadium’s design features a vast umbrella-like structure that harvests energy and rainwater, symbolizing Manchester’s industrial heritage.

The exterior will be adorned with tensile fabric and triple masts inspired by the club’s logo, reflecting the city’s weather and urban spirit. The development includes a public plaza twice the size of Trafalgar Square, aiming to create a vibrant community space.

Planned adjacent to the current Old Trafford site, the new stadium aims to ensure continuity for fans and minimize disruption during construction.

However, the project faces logistical challenges, including the potential relocation of a rail terminal. Securing necessary approvals and integrating the stadium into the existing urban fabric will require careful planning.
